Public Executions.
Especial Cor. STATE CHRONICLE I

Especial Cor. STATE CHRONICLE.
New BERNE, March 25, 1SS7.-I have
just read in your paper of the cath inst. a
short communication from the pen of my
old friend Rev. N. NJ Jurney endorsing
your views on public hanging. want to
differ with you and Mr.. Jurney in this
matter. l believe the Lords way ia the
best way and we find that He instituted
public executions" in Israel, and not
only SO but he allowed the criminal to
make a confession. Please take the case
of Achans confession and execution.
Joshua 7th chapter.
Achan stands as a monument to day to
"public executions"
do not think it is a place for timid
women and nevious preachers, but it
sends terror to the hearts of the rough
crowd who always gather around to wit
ness these scenes, and it has good effect
on them, and whoever has witnessed a
hanging has a greater horror of the gal
lows than ever before. The trouble now
a-days seems to be that everything must
be new style, and while it is true that We
live in an age of improvement, still it may
be that we will get too fast even for the
times great many people are opposed
to hanging altogether, and expect to see
that some one will suggest soon that the
killing shall be done by electricity. The
sheriff will not even have to be there.
He will only have to touch a wire at his
Office and the prisoner without warning
will cease to be. What nice death this
would be; something like they kill cattle
in Chicago!
'All manner of sins shall be forgiven
except the sin against the Holy Ghost. :"
We only have few cases of absolute Ger
tainty of the future state given in the
bible, but prominently among these is
that poor fellow who died on the cross the
day that Jesus died. The murderer NAV
be saved through the meritorious blood
of Christ. J.V. WILLIAMS.

illustrating early events. In this book,
better than any other source known to US,
is an account of the Established Church in
the Colonies and the resistance of the peo-
pie to the imposition of a tax to build
Episcopal churches. There never was a
time in North Carolina, when the Episcopal
church had a numerical majority, but
when it was a colony, the Lord Proprietors
and Governors were Jealous adherents
and they gave it many advantages. But
the spirit of religious liberty was too firmly
implanted in the hardy inhabitants of this
State to tolerate any kind of control of State
by Ecclesiastical powers, and although aid
ed by the crown, the people never CONT ibut-
ed 20 any great extent to the support of the
ministry and what they gave, was paid
under protest.
The second division of the book is de-
voted to the history of New Berne-for
many years leading city of the State and
always from its earliest settlement, the
home of culture and refinement. Much
history of New Berne-not connected with
Presbyterianism-i inserted and given in
attractive form. This portion of the book
alone ought to insure it a place in the
library of every man who has read of the
great men of that city who have left their
impress upon North Carolina history.
The last part Of the book is devoted to
the history of the Presbyterian church, in
New Berne, and biographical sketches of
its pastors. This is interesting, especially
the sketch of that eminent servant of
God, Rev. Drury S. Lacy, D. D.
The book will be interesting to all North
Carolinians- especially to those who are
interested in the history of the State and
the Presbyterian church.
The CHRONICLE commends it cordially.
The low price at which it is sold-one dol
lar and fifty cents (add fifteen cents for
postage)-ought to give it a wide circula-
ton. 1t is for sale by all book sellers, or
may be had by addressing Rev. L. C. Vass,

Free Passes.
from Greensboro North State. I


The railroad authorities have decided
that the granting of free passes is unlaw-
full under the Inter State commerce law
over more than one State.-SenatOr Cul-
lom says the law does not comprehend
representatives of the press, as passes may
be given to newspapers in consideration Of
advertising schedules. &c The railroad
officers will undoubtedly give the railroads
the benefit of the doubt in all cases; and
if they regard the law as a bad one, will
act on the principle of Gen. Grant, that if
the law is oppressive, the best way to
bring about its repeal is to enforce it to the
letter. Charles Francis Adams says the
free pass system on the Union Pacific
Railroad amounts to $4,000 day, and
this compels the company to demand 10
per cent addit .onal from those who pay.

Love serene, in truth abiding,
Hazards not his high estate;
Thou would st trust no other guiding
Mine, no other heart could mate.
Faith and aspiration blending,
We, at last, together fly,
Who, apart, on self depending,
Valnly dreamed to cleave the sky.
Thou my natures need suppliest,-
L, in thee, find all sought;
That l aid thee as thou filest,
Flatters too my fOndest thought
Ever, ere wish arises,
Still unvoiced within my heart,
Love its echo recognizes
Finds In thine, it's counterpart
Thus, our spirits coalescing,
Hold communion pure and sweet;
Each in others love possessing
All that makes one life complete.
Quiet and assured forever,
WhereSOeVer we may be,
For our future there is never
Doubt or dread for thee and me.
With unfaltering reliance
On the God, whom we adore,
We m.y meet, with calm defiance,
Tempter's vile, or tempest's roar.
Now, the past no more awaking
Save to heighten present joy,
Let US, our dead selves forsaking,
Ali our quickened powers employ
Other weary hearts to tighten
OF the heavy woes they bear;
More and more our path will brighten,
II they in our blessings share.

wears a new Spring dress and the beauty
of it is, it don't put on any airs about it,
It is a solid, good paper:
In California, the people pay State tax,
and no mistake. The recent Legislature
increased the rate to 20 cents on the 800
worth of property. In North Carolina we
have, under Democratic rule, been paying
only % cents and the last Legislature de-
creased it to 20 cents. North Carolinians
have no cause to complain of high tax.
The Virginia Legislature is now strug-
Cling to find a glimmer of light in their
much vexed debt question. There never
was better opportunity for a man to win
fame and the gratitude of Virginians than
to follow the example Of the great Daniel
Webster. 1t was at a speech at Rochester,
n Y, if our recollection serves US right,
that he was making, or pretending to make,
a speech. He had partaken too copiously
Of the intoxicating fluid and his speech
was full of references to great public ques-
tions VIII ich his condition made his brain
incapable of grasping. Finally he said:

tice of some of the leading feyers and in
hammatory diseases Of Eastern North
Carolina. The germ theory of disease,
as it is called, and malaria, together
with fevers in the Eastern part of this
State, are treated, in the address, with
the hand of master. What Dr. Satch-
we'll says, as the experience and observa-
ton of a laborious country practitioner for
the last thirty years, is deserving of the
attention, not only of the medical profes-
sion, but of the perusal of the general
reader. 1t is apparent that DR.. S. adds to
his learning AS physician, ability and
culture as a writer, as displayed in this
and other productions of his. We com
mend this address to the members of the
medical profession and to the public.

A VALUABLE NORTH CAROLINA
BOOK.

So few North Carolinians write books,
write them have been able to make them
valuable for preservation, that it is real
pleasure to read and be able to commend
thorough North Carolina book. There
is material enough for many books; there
is talent enough, but for some cause, the
commonwealth of North Carolina has fur
nished to the literary or historical world
less than, perhaps, any other State. We
must make the admission-and We do it
with shamefacedness and regret. Beyond
descriptions of our beautiful mountain
country and other occasiona. novels and
histories of sections, there are few books
written by North Carolinians upon North
Carolina topics that have place in the
libraries of our well-read people.
The Colonial Records, for which we are
indebted to the patient research and labor
of Col. Saunders, will be invaluable TO the
student of State history and will stimulate
the enlargement of many historical Incl
dents touched upon in the Records. For
the preparation and publication of these
Records, North Carolinians, yet unborn,
will owe Col. Saunders debt Of gratitude.
Some two months ago, We received, (,
through the Kindness Of the author, Rev.
L. @. Vass, of New Berne, a copy of his
new book entitled Eastern North Carroll
ma, New Berne Presbyterian Church, and
New Berne." The high character and well
known ability of the author, and the sub
ject-matter of the book gave it high
value to us and we have waited to give ii
careful reading before expressing our
opinion of the work which has cost Mr..
Vass many years of toll. 1t is thorough
North Carolina book; and is piece of
Southern workmanship, not only in au-
thorship and subject, but in its press work
and binding. The first forty-seven pages
contain q condensed history of Eastern
North Carolina. OF course part of this
is familiar, but Mr.. Vass gives new histori-
cal documents, never before published,
